DailyMail UK also quoted Dr. Jesse Tucker, medical director of intensive care medicine at CHI Memorial, who also received the vaccine. Dr. Tucker explained that Nurse Tiffany’s dizziness had nothing to do with the coronavirus vaccine. He said: “It is a reaction that can occur very frequently with any vaccine or injection.”
